CoParenting After Divorce

Available in print (click above) or as an e-book (digital) through our secure partner, BookBaby.

Divorce is not something that happens once in a courtroom. It is a lifetime change for everyone in the family. Old patterns have to be changed and new patterns have to be tried out and then kept or thrown away.

Using a GPS analogy, CoParenting After Divorce: A GPS for Healthy Kids presents a road map to making changes in the new family system, either with or without the help of a parenting coordinator. Included are:

• Explanations of the process

• Examples of parenting coordination

• Self-assessment exercises to help parents assess their own behaviors

• Specific tools to help improve communication, focus on children’s needs, and resolve parenting issues

• Develop a customized parenting plan

The whole family will benefit from this dynamic, scientifically-supported information. It will help parents understand the benefits parenting coordination; how to track factors important for children’s development; how and when to adjust the parenting plan; and how to handle bumps in the road and avoid common mistakes!
